Session Minutes

questions

• Marcus Nolke:
  • Is there a way to create attributes for a relation/predicate other than creating an event (like "John Doe's visit")?
  • https://github.com/KGConf/Bookclub-DemystifyingOWL/issues/3
• Michael Uschold
  • Modeling processes is not the forte of OWL
  • Ability to assign literals to relationships (as possible in Property Graphs) will become standard through RDF*
  • It makes sense to model something as an entity rather than an attribute if you have more to say about it (rather than one single literal)
• Keith Corbett
  • The temporal dimension is almost always a challenge to handle
